The weak nuclear force doesn't play by the normal rules — and, in fact, it breaks one of the biggest rules of all.

“The mass and the antiparticle nature of neutrinos can be studied by measuring the radioactive beta and double-beta decays of ...

When two neutron stars collide, they unleash some of the most powerful forces in the universe, creating ripples in spacetime, showers of radiation, and even the building blocks of gold and platinum.

Neutrinos are some of the most abundant particles in the universe, and they are everywhere. Every second, more than 6 trillion neutrinos cruise in between the molecules of water and caffeine in your ...

Physicists have placed a new limit on how big the elusive neutrino can be—one of the universe’s smallest known particles—a limit that makes other subatomic particles look as big as black holes by ...

As a science reporter for the New York Times, Katrina Miller writes about the universe and how the pursuit of understanding ...

The IceCube observatory detects possible sources of neutrinos in the galaxy NGC 1068, reinforcing the search for the origin ...

The discovery of what is potentially the smallest clump of dark matter ever seen strengthens the case for cold dark matter.

When massive stars reach the end of their lives, something strange and violent happens deep inside them. As they run out of fuel, their cores begin to collapse under their own weight. But this ...

Scientists working on the Short-Baseline Near Detector (SBND) at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory have identified the detector’s first neutrino interactions. The detector has been been planned, ...

One of the Tanganyikan delegates to the U.N. was duly exercised. The U.S., he said, was plotting with South Africa to test atom bombs. He had read all about it in the newspapers. Whatever he had read, ...
